Let's be clear about one thing: we're huge Jonah Hill fans. We've had our eye on him since he first held up those goldfish bowl platform shoes in "40 Year Old Virgin"--and we're thrilled by the success he's enjoyed since then, as he's continued to write and act, stretching himself into darker, more dramatic roles as in "Cyrus."

And we loved him as the number-crunching Sancho Panza to Brad Pitt's heroic Don Quixote in "Moneyball," for which he was rewarded with an Oscar nomination. But we can't shake the feeling that his nomination highlights just how silly and capricious the whole awards circuit can be.
